Sorry to see it go. It seems that restaurants have a tough go of it in Pleasanton in general, and those along Santa Rita have a tough time in particular. I've often wondered why a restaurant will founder in Pleasanton and do well in San Ramon or Livermore. I hope if a restaurant goes in at that location, that it is not yet another Asian restaurant.

I was just told last ewvening that Skip has decided to focus on only catering events and has sold the location to an Indian Restaurant..which actually makes good sense. we don't have a good Indian restaurant in the area yet there is a large Indian poulation. Good luck to both parties :)

I would welcome a good Indian restaurant as well. I just hope that it isn't the same owners that kept flipping the restaurant space on Hopyard (near Owens Dr., where the Black Bear Diner is supposed to "some day"(?) go) over and over, from one incarnation to another... I hope for something more stable and tasty than that one!

Chuck, I get it--funny!
I really enjoyed Girasole-always had excellent food and good service. Also enjoyed the owner's BigHorn Grill in San Ramon, which also closed a few years ago. Hard to make a go with a restaurant, even a quality one. Good luck to the owner in his catering business-- and I like Indian food! No chain restaurant, please.
